Serendipity

Chapter 34

HIRAI MOMO

"How are you?" I asked as I sat beside him in his private jet.

"Not okay. And I'm sure you are too." he replied, closing his tired eyes as I only hummed in return.

He's right after all. None of us are okay. Especially him.

I decided to call the girls and ask how things are going on back at home. And also to check up on the guys. Mostly on my Dubu.

He's not yours. You didn't let him.

Damn.

"Hi Sana-chan. Are you with the girls?" I asked.

[Yeah. We're here at Yeouido Hangang Park.]

"How are you girls and the guys?"

[Still sad that you had to leave. The guys are already suspecting that something's happening to you. They even directly asked us where you are.]

"What about Dahyunie?" I asked, suddenly nervous about the thought of him.

[...]

"Hello? Sana-chan?"

[Have you taken off yet?]

What the?

"Don't change the subject Sana-chan. Just tell me how he is."

[Momo-chan... I don't think... That it's good for you to know.]

"Why? Did something happen to him? Is anything wrong?" I asked, starting to panic.

[He's...]

"Please..." I begged.

[Not him anymore. The guys are really worried about him and opened up about how they would sometimes find him at their roof, drinking and crying on his own.]

Guilt consumed me and was continuing on eating me whole. I never knew how much it affected him. I never thought about how painful it was for him.

"Anything else?" I asked, my voice cracking.

[Tzuyu told me that he was going to ask you to be his girlfriend that day you told him you didn't feel the same way. But...]

We could've been together now. But it was all ruined. And now he probably hates me.

[Momo...?]

"Why?" I asked, tearing up.

"Why is he making this harder for me? Why can't he just..." I added, trying to stop my tears.

[Momo, you can't just unlove a person that quickly. I suggest you hurry up, fix your problem and come back here before it's too late. None of us has ever seen Dahyun like this before and honestly, it scares the shit out of us. Even the guys.]

"I'll try..." I said, wiping my tears.

[I don't want you to try. Do it.]

"Okay." I said, hanging up.

Dammit! Damn everything!

"Momo..." oppa said, wrapping his arms around me.

"Oppa, I don't wanna give them what they want." I said.

"Me too. But-"

"No. Following the plan is only going to prolong this."

He looked at me with defeat in his eyes and sighed before slowly nodding his head and dropping his arms on the armrest.
